Repellent Beats the Bite

The data, gathered from the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), show four repellent
ingredients that are effective at keeping insects at bay:
picaridin, DEET, IR3535 and oil of lemon eucalyptus.

The report states that these repellents are safe for children
when users follow application instructions. Insect repellant should
be applied to deter mosquitoes and ticks, which can spread such
infectious diseases as West Nile virus and Lyme
disease.
